"As a group of hard-working, good-hearted Brazilians, GTIS manifests against corruption and the institutional crisis
that plague the country and contradict the historically positive values of the Brazilian society.
We strongly support the peaceful social movements that will hopefully lead Brazil to a better future."
(Motion approved in June 2015; updated in September 2016.)


"GTIS manifests solidarity to the victims of urban violence, which is out of control in the country
due to enduring poverty and a series of new legislation that restricted the power of police
as well as the power of individuals to protect themselves and their families."
(Motion approved in August 2016.)

Social engineering and digital behavior

João Pessoa, Brazil
February 22, 2017

José Augusto Lopes Viana presented his dissertation as a requisite for the MS degree in Management Science (Management Information Systems) at UFPB. He carefully analyzed the social engineering practices and the likelihood of people adopting positive or negative behaviors to be protected against. His study is particularly important in the present moment of the Brazilian society and economy, since digital crimes are escalating along with other crimes. Also, his study is part of the field's current interests on cyber-security. In fact, technologies and individual and organizational behavior account for the mechanisms to address the security of one's assets. The committee for his dissertation was: Dr. Alexandre Graeml (UTFPR), Dr. Francisco "Franzé" da Costa (UFPB), and Dr. Carlo Bellini (UFPB, supervisor).






2017 Conference Organization

GTIS researcher Dr. Carlo Bellini is co-chair for track Enterprise Systems & Knowledge Management at 10th Conf-IRM (Santiago, Chile, May 17-19), co-chair for track Latin America at 23rd AMCIS (Boston, MA, August 10-12), associate editor for track Digital Ecosystems at 25th ECIS (Guimarães, Portugal, June 5-10), and associate editor for track Service Science & Information Systems at 38th ICIS (Seoul, South Korea, December 10-13).

World IT Project, Brazil - first results

Greensboro, NC, USA
October 21, 2016

The World IT Project is a huge endeavor involving more than 40 countries. It is headed by Dr. Prashant Palvia, a leading scholar from the Department of Information Systems & Supply Chain Management, Bryan School of Business & Economics, University of North Carolina Greensboro, USA. This October, GTIS researcher Dr. Carlo Bellini presented the first results of the Brazilian Chapter at the project's headquarters (see here) to an enthusiastic audience formed by faculty members and PhD students. The study called "Turnover and turnaway of information systems/technology professionals during a national crisis and across age groups" was developed by Dr. Bellini, Dr. Valter Moreno (UERJ, Brazil), Dr. Alexandre Graeml (UTFPR, Brazil), Dr. Palvia, and by another core team member of the project - Dr. Tim Jacks (Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, USA). This study is expected to contribute in several ways to the IS/IT community worldwide, for its theoretical and applied insights on the patterns of job-related perceptions and intentions of IS/IT professionals during economic crises and across age groups.






From the digital divide to digital limitations - socio-demographic factors and the interplay with skills, attitudes, and Internet use

João Pessoa, Brazil
April 15, 2016

Flávio Perazzo Barbosa Mota presented his doctoral dissertation as a requisite for the DS degree in Management Science (Management Information Systems) at UFPB. Flávio did a thorough statistical analysis of secondary data about Internet use in Brazil and provided a new perspective on how Internet use relates to individual skills, attitudes, and socio-demographic factors. His research is particularly important for updating our understanding about the interplay between socio-demographics and the information and communication technologies, as well as for us to go beyond the digital divide discourse towards a digital effectiveness perspective - which is based not only on digital inclusion, but also on digital capabilities. The committee for his dissertation was: Dr. Brivaldo André Marinho da Silva (UFPB), Dr. Francisco José "Franzé" da Costa (UFPB), Dr. Cesar Alexandre de Souza (USP), Dr. Anatália Saraiva Martins Ramos (UFRN), and Dr. Carlo Gabriel Porto Bellini (UFPB, supervisor).

2nd Information Systems in Latin America (ISLA) Conference
João Pessoa, Brazil
April 18-21, 2015

GTIS is proud to have organized the second ISLA conference. This conference discusses the role of information systems in society and the ways the discipline has evolved over the years, with a special attention to the idiosyncrasies of IS research and application in Latin America. The first ISLA conference was held in Curitiba, May 01-03, 2014, and it was a huge success as for the presence of renowned IS scholars both physically and in the real-time video-conferencing rooms.

ISLA conferences innovate in many aspects, including a more personal account from the authors when writing their contributions, and the preference for contributions that explicitly address the conference's annual theme. Also, the conference has a geographically distributed format, that is, participants are stimulated to join individually or in groups from any part of the world and contribute through live video-conferencing with those who are located at the main conference site.

Digital literacy and resistance to change (routine-preserving behavior) in a rural community

João Pessoa, Brazil
February 25, 2015

Raissa Carneiro de Brito presented her dissertation as a requisite for the MS degree in Information Science at UFPB. Raissa researched on resistance to change (routine-preserving behavior) as a behavioral digital limitation/impairment. She implemented a series of focus groups and participant observations in a rural community nearby João Pessoa, Brazil, where she is part of a voluntary team that promotes general and digital literacy for anyone in that community who is interested. She researched the drivers of resistance and acceptance to participate in the educational activities, and she ingeniously associated some behaviors with a character of the Brazilian popular culture that sings "I was born this way, I grew up this way, I actually live this way, I'll always live this way." Her research was the fifth M.Sc. research on the validation of Bellini et al.'s (2010) seminal work on digital limitations/impairments. The committee for her dissertation was: Dr. Brivaldo Marinho (UFPB), Dr. Dulce Neves (UFPB), and Dr. Carlo Bellini (UFPB, supervisor).

Segunda parte da entrevista sobre limitações digitais ao Portal Administradores.com.br

O grupo de pesquisa GTIS - Tecnologia da Informação e Sociedade foi mais uma vez destaque na TV do maior portal de Administração do país (www.administradores.com.br). Ao comentar sobre a segunda parte da entrevista ao programa ADM Talks, Carlo Bellini destaca: "neste novo vídeo, introduzimos um olhar pretensamente mais completo sobre a exclusão digital, que, em programas de políticas públicas, é tratada meramente como o acesso material e social às tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICs). Afinal, é mais apelativo falar de coisas materiais do que promover educação básica, formação de caráter e controle de impulsos. Mas as experiências de vida (que alimentam nossa cognição) e o bom-senso (que regula nosso comportamento) é que verdadeiramente caracterizam a inclusão digital de cada indivíduo".

Entrevista sobre limitações digitais ao Portal Administradores.com.br

O grupo de pesquisa GTIS - Tecnologia da Informação e Sociedade foi destaque na TV do maior portal de Administração do país (www.administradores.com.br).
Em entrevista ao programa ADM Talks, o líder do grupo, Prof. Carlo Bellini, comentou resultados de investigações da mestranda Daniella Garcia sobre cyberslacking - o uso de recursos informáticos da organização para fins pessoais de seus membros durante a jornada de trabalho. Descobriu-se que esse comportamento, porém,nem sempre caracteriza limitação digital comportamental, pois pode estar associado positivamente à satisfação e à produtividade do indivíduo no trabalho.
